Hello Die-hard Fans: DVDFab Meta Collection Campaign Needs Your Hands
Before getting to the details, it is necessary to explain what the word “Meta” is all about. The meta here refers to the Meta information, aka Metadata, which includes all the basic information about a commercial Blu-ray movie disc, such as Titles, Front Cover, Description (Synopsis), Studio, Release Year, Running Time/Duration, Genre(s), Director, Actors, Parental Rating, etc.
What’s and Why Meta Collection?
Meta Info is a brand new feature introduced in two of the DVDFab Blu-ray related products, Blu-ray Copy and Blu-ray Ripper, to be more specific. The primary goal of this feature is to gather the above mentioned Meta information of Blu-ray discs, which can be achieved by DVDFab customers manually editing and uploading via the DVDFab client.
Haven't got DVDFab Blu-ray Copy or Blu-ray ripper? It's time to get them at 40% discount!
Discount Coupon: METAINFO Valid to: Feb 20, 2016.
Note: The Meta Info Contest Campaign will be end on Feb 20, 2016.
Why collect the Meta Info? By doing so, we have the following objectives in mind:
² To Significantly Enhance the Overall User Experience with DVDFab.
The Meta information uploaded by customers is stored on a DVDFab Server so that every user, paid or nonpaid, can have access. Suppose someone else has uploaded the Meta information of the Life of Pi, and you happen to have this disc too and are about to make a backup or conversion with DVDFab. When you see the analysis results with the highly detailed information of each title magically open before your eyes, including the title name, what content in the title, and then runtime, etc, what would you think? Wow, it is amazing! Yes, that is what DVDFab wants all the users to experience. This could be extremely helpful especially when there are several fake titles in a disc to prevent you from knowing which one is the real movie title to back up or convert or the disc has lots of bonus features. In other words, analysis accuracy of DVDFab gets improved, and so does the user experience, with easier, better decisions about your backups!
² To Make Your Media Server Smarter than Ever
This objective is actually an extra benefit of the first one; it works like this: if you have a TV Show disc with a bunch of episodes, after conversion, you will see the converted files named in series order, like Friends.S01E01, Friends.S01E02, Friends.S01E03…if you have all the ten seasons of the Friends, then list can grow all the way down to, Friends.S10E24. This is not enough, when you have all these converted video files added to your home media streaming server, say Plex or Serviio, or anything else similar, you will find that it suddenly becomes smarter than ever before, because it can automatically have these videos sorted out and then have them kept in the right category, similarly like the one you see below.
Bingo! In the end, streaming videos from your home media server becomes a pleasure, especially when you have tons of TV Shows and movies stored there.
Doing This Might Require Your Dedication
Rome was not built in one day, and the Meta Info feature won’t be either. It is a huge and continuous project that is time consuming, maybe labor eating as well. There is a long journey to go before we have enough Blu-ray discs’ Metadata on DVDFab Server, so that everyone at anytime can take advantage of this giant database. This is also why we chose to carry out the campaign here in the Forum, because we cannot simply ask every DVDFab customer to do it if they are not really ready to get involved. But, to the guys in the Forum, it is different. Most forum members are die-hard fans that frequently come back, not just to give product feedback, but also to reach out their helping hands to others.
A good beginning is half the way to success! We need the first volunteers to give the project a good start. So, guys(and girls), your helping hands are appreciated.
How to upload the Meta Information?

One More Thing (or Two)
To encourage more volunteers to get into this campaign, we also have some incentive plans here. We know most of you will do this regardless whether or not there are such bonuses. But it is our sincere gratitude to thank those who do make their contribution to help the entire DVDFab community, to make DVDFab a better product. Anyway, check out our reward plans.
² Forum Titles
Depending on how much Meta information the contributor uploads, he or she will get the following Forum user titles:
As a reminder: to get the Forum title, you need to set the FC Member username the same as your DVDFab Forum username.
² Amazon Gift Card
Additionally, we also offer material incentive via the Amazon Gift Card. The volunteer/contributor will accumulate $1 for uploading the Metadata of a Blu-ray movie disc, and $1.50 for a season disc, respectively.
The extra award: The top three contributors accumulating more than $100 will get an extra $500, $300 and $100 respectively.
When the total sum accumulated exceeds $20, and is in multiples of 10, the volunteer/contributor can receive an Amazon Gift Card. For instance, suppose that a volunteer/contributor is ready to upload the Meta information of 19 Blu-ray TV Show discs, then he or she will accumulate 19x$1.5=$28.50, however, when redeemed, he or she will get a $20 Amazon Gift Card, instead of a $28.50 Gift Card since the cards are pre-purchased with the $20 amount.
